Do I need an alignment?
Ok, I installed a set of ZO6 sway bars with metal links and Bilstein Sport ride. Last year I had a 4 wheel alignment and the car drove perfect. So my question as stated do I need to have another alignment because of the installs?
Thanks,

I put Bilstien sport shocks, Hotchkis Sway bars, no alignment. I let the car settle. Lowered the car next. Let the car settle. I am having the alignment checked next week. If you have any concerns, have it done. Worth the peace of mind.. normally the car should not get out of alignment unless you make changes to ride height, suspension, or you feel during driving something happened to cause it to go out of alignment. Small price to pay for making sure it is spot on...
